Other than sometimes turning into large battles, for better or for worse...nothing; Search and destroy missions worked great. Probably the worst thing was going thru the hot boonies (jungles, hills, and swamps) for 1, 2, or more days and finding nobody or nothing...thus making every man feel like he's just wasted his time (getting mosquitoed, snake bitten, rat bitten, thirsty, and sleeping in mud) FOR NOTHING (Meaning a waste of time). On the other hand, not meeting the enemy (making contact) meant nobody got hurt...so that was a good thing.

What is a Search and destroy missions during the Vietnam war?
The Viet War was not a war in which territorial gains were an issue...as they were in WWII (as one example). The strategy for success in Vietnam was to use "attrition" as a way of gaining victory. "Kill them all" (as the slogan went) until the enemy was gone; this was attrition. The tactic used was "searching for them & and then destroying them." Shortened to just "search and destroy."
